Source: Tasmania Police Corporate Performance Report, Annual 2025-26, total offences by police division, 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Kingston as defined by the source. Tasmania Police publishes these figures by police division, and a division covers the suburb or town centre and its neighbouring suburbs, so they are for a wider area than the page name alone. They come from Tasmania Police's monthly performance report, which it says may differ slightly from its official crime statistics. They are counts of offences recorded by police, not rates per resident. Busy centres draw workers, shoppers and visitors, so their counts are higher. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk.
Housing stock: Brick family homes from the 1970s onwards, newer estates on the hillsides, and coastal and rural-residential blocks further south

Kingston security tip
Everyday habits that protect property
Kingston's offences rose from 1,411 to 1,615 last year, and most were property offences. Simple habits help: lock doors and the garage even when you're home, keep bikes and tools out of sight, and bring parcels in quickly. On larger coastal and rural blocks, lock sheds and boats and consider a driveway alert, so you know when someone arrives.
Kingston homes and what they mean for security
Kingston grew from the 1970s as a family suburb of brick homes with garages and fenced yards, and newer estates have spread over the hillsides. Further south, coastal and rural-residential blocks along the Channel have sheds, boats and long driveways out of sight of the road. Many residents commute into Hobart, so homes sit empty during the working day.
